Snow - Get it While it's Cold!

Dad is definitely on vacation. He sent the kids out to play in the snow in the dark. Definitely not the norm. Of course, it's also not the norm to have snow twice in one week in our part of Texas. At least not in December. And it was such "perfect" snow, he couldn't pass up the opportunity.

He even took the precious hand-made sled Poppa made years ago out to try out the backyard snow. Bit barely fit. She'll be glad to know I blogged that bit... ;)

Little Girl is spending the night with a friend, so she missed out. She's going to be VERY disappointed when she finds out...

The reddish blur is Bear making her slide down the hill.

This one is all blurry (I was taking all these pictures in the DARK), but I thought it was cool how everyone seems almost ghost-like since they're moving while the camera is setting up the picture. Dad's throwing a snowball (on the left). Bit is the barely visible blur in the center dodging the snowball Dad is throwing. Heidi is just to her right watching. Little Buddy is up on the top retaining wall working on his snowball for the snowman.

Bear is standing at the top of the backyard with the little snowman they built. Great snowball and snowman snow. Maybe he'll still be there in the morning so they can decorate him and we can get a better picture of him. Can you believe this picture is taken in the DARK?! Thank goodness for the tripod. The exposure took forEVER. Bear kept asking if she could move yet...
